[FIRST WORLD BANK] Insider NPC walks away from escape

This bug has been bugging me for a long time since FWB's release.

If you take too long to reach the escape (e.g. because too many guards are in your way at the time), the Insider NPC would frequently just wanders off to do a tour of the bank or something and then comes back. I've failed many a FWB stealth run because of this bug because I don't often get the good luck to have the server room spawn by the exit door to wait for her. I say good luck because if you wait for her to come back on the other side of the building and get held up by guard patrols again, she will wander off again and the waiting game begins anew.

This is actually the first time I've seen the Insider walk through the floor like in the screenshot and video (check around 20:00). I swear she just takes a tour of the bank but I can't actually remember the last time I followed her around so I can't say for certain. What I can say for certain is that this bug has basically been in FWB since the beginning as far as I can tell. She wandered off the first time I tried to stealth FWB and hasn't changed since. Had it happen to me again recently on my first attempt to clear FWB OD, haha. I was waiting for her to open the door but after a couple minutes of just standing there, a guard spots me and downs me before I could plant the C4 for the loud escape haha.

Since I finally have some video footage of her wandering off, I figured I'd make this bug report since it's still in the game in Update 126 and also since this is the first time I also recorded her walking off. I initially was just going to escape quickly but I figured I could get a chance to record her walking off which is why I kept checking on her but never triggering the escape until after she left.

Is she programmed as an unalertable security guard NPC? I don't really understand why a mostly stationary NPC with scripted waypoints would randomly decide to go for a stroll instead of staying in place.

(Apologies for the full video, I'm trying to get the most mileage out of it by using it in two threads)

Standard disclaimers: No mods, no cheats, vanilla installation.

Reproduction steps (for me):
- Take too long to get to the Insider
- She wanders off
- If you take too long to get to the Insider after she gets back, she'll wander off again.
- Repeat.

Yep, this issue is still an unconfirmed bug from the Overkill QA team side but I added reproduction steps in:
